Chapter 36 Part 1: Clairvoyant
After he said that, he closed his eyes to start casting. I held 「Noir」 in one hand and the karambit in the other. The queen ant was too high up. I might be able to grab her back with spatial interference, but if she fell, I’d be seriously injured. I can’t use the damage-reducing bullets right now because they’re supposed to be used during the lightning strikes.
In that case… As I activated the skill, I could feel my mana filling up from my toes.
«Spatial Interference»
When I opened my eyes, I was already on top of the queen ant.
-Keeeeeeee! KEEEEEEK!
The queen ant wiggled frantically at my sudden appearance. But I quickly moved my hand and grabbed her wings, which was the most fragile part of her body. Since the wings need to move quickly, they are inevitably thin and light. That’s why..
Swish.
I sliced off one of its wings with my karambit, but I instantly lost my balance and the queen ant began to chase me. Just before I hit the ground, I moved towards the incubator.
Splash, I immediately sank into the incubator. The place that was now devoid of its owner, embraced my entire body in a cozy embrace. There was little impact. As I struggled to land on the surface, the queen ant was already scurrying around on the ground.
I scrambled to my feet before I could even wipe away all the mucus. I hurriedly aimed my 「Noir」at the queen before she noticed Lee Eun-Woo.
Bangg, bang!
Of course, the distance was quite far, so nothing was properly hit. But it was enough to get its attention. When it saw me, the one who clipped off one of its wings, it instantly went into a frenzy and rushed towards me.
‘So fast!’
I thought since it was supposed to be focused on agility it would be agile, but… It was still faster than I thought. Besides, I was twice as heavy as usual because of the mucus.
‘It’s inevitable.’
However, meekly accepting that something was inevitable is not something a Hunter would do. A hunter is a survivor, and a survivor’s job is to squeeze every ounce of efficiency out of every dangerous situation.
Queen ants would often use its sharp serrated mouth to attack. So if I avoid that, then I’ll be able to avoid the rest of the damage.
-Kigigig!
I quickly shove 「Noir」 into its snout.
‘Oh yeah. SSS-class revolver baby. It can’t be broken easily.’
At the same time, human-looking limbs clung to me. Strangling my throat, and twisting my arms. But…
Bang!
-Kie-e-e-e-e!
As I loaded the gun with mana, the creature, sensing my intentions, quickly pulled its mouth out. Unfortunately, the bullet missed.
‘Its exoskeleton isn’t as hard as a normal mountain ant’s, so I should be able to pierce it with Noir!’
I was immediately convinced, and It was worth the risk. But at that speed, it would be faster for it to dodge than for the bullet to reach it anyway.
Throb. My elbow, which had been in contact with the queen ant for the briefest of moments, transmitted a torrent of pain.
If only I could pull the trigger at close range… It was stronger than I thought, though, so I had to avoid too much close contact.
‘How do I catch it off guard?’
Before I could come up with anything, it was already charging again. But at Lee Eun-Woo!
Was the aggro off? I had no choice. I didn’t want to give it up, but… I immediately sliced the royal jelly in half.
-Kriinn?
It must be very hungry. The ants hadn’t even frozen the area, presumably to give the queen time to relax and recover with the use of the royal jelly shortly after hatching.
Now that we’ve barged in, it couldn’t rest or eat properly. Royal jelly is a specialty food customized for queen ants. It’s a pain in the ass for it to eat it to regain strength, but I had no choice.
“You want to eat?”
I waved the royal jelly in my hand, and its gaze shifted towards it accordingly.
“If you want to eat, then eat!”
I tossed the royal jelly into the incubator behind me. When I turned around I saw that she’s already gone back into the incubator.
“Cast!”
“It’s ready!”
At the same time, a magic circle lit up in the air. Lightning struck directly above the incubator. It was a gamble, since I didn’t know what the mucus was made of. Would it be electrified?
I peeked over to see if… It was stunned or dead. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see the leftover royal jelly half in its hand.
“…Please prepare another one, just in case.”
At my words, Lee Eun-Woo nodded. His complexion was quite pale. Whether it was from being targeted by the Queen Ant earlier, or from excessive mana usage, I couldn’t tell, but it wasn’t time to worry about it.
It moved faintly.
“It was alive!’
“How long until the next cast!”
“Around.. three minutes!”
“It’s longer than I thought.’
Its twitching was becoming even more frequent. First its fingertips twitched, then its eyes fluttered open. Rumble, it finished the last of the royal jelly.
Bang!
I tried to fire, but the mucus that was on our side earlier is already on its side now. The bullet didn’t go in.
We have about two minutes left.
“What can I do to hold it off?’
The thought was short-lived.
“Cast it in exactly two minutes. Okay? No matter what, you have to cast it exactly then.”
With those words, I jumped into the incubator.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
